Is my easiest and best option to create an llc in Nevada?

Since you self-manage, create a shell property management LLC and run your rentals management through it, charge yourself pm fees, thus generating self-income, thus being able to open Solo-401K where you can contribute 56K+/year tax deferred  (you will have to pay self-income tax, but might end up better than paying full tax on rental income...check with your CPA as this requires planning).

I am not familiar with other states, but in MI, STR rules change all of the time, so I am constantly telling that to my clients who want STR properties.

There is an abundant amount of deals beating the 1% rule there.

For those using GPTs, I have created a GPT to calculate and explain cash flow, ROI, cap rate, IRR, and cash on cash return.

S8 comes with it's own set of rules but if you have a good property manager, they'll be able to help you navigate those waters and make sure the property is up to S8 standards but the cashflow has been awesome. 

I also have over 100k of available credit on credit cards I could use (I have worked so hard to create great relationships with CapitalOne and Chase after bankrupty to have this, and don't live on credit card float).

Once completed, it would create a nice little quote for you to print as your new Projected Cost of Renovations. 

Leveraging sphere, networking, you tube, ie www.KennsRadio.com more to follow... i am creating a course to show how its done woot!
